The Qalipu First Nation (phon: /xa.li.bu/, [xalibu]; Mi'kmaq for 'caribou') is a Mi'kmaq band government based on the eastern Canadian island of Newfoundland. The landless band was created by order-in-council in 2011, pursuant to the Agreement for the Recognition of the Qalipu Mi'kmaq Band. Following their approval as a First Nation, around 100,000 people applied for membership, while a total of 23,000 were, ultimately, approved.
In 2018, the Qalipu First Nation was accepted as a member of the Canadian Assembly of First Nations.
